asdocx dec(#) option is not working.

The following code writes output word document with different and often truncated decimal points. Could you kindly fix this error?

 asdocx table d h, c(mean ec sd ec) title(Summary statistics: ec) ///
     fhc(\b) fs(8) format(%9.2f) center dec(6) save(Ibrahim)

Since you have not shared your dataset, therefore, I was unable to replicate the table you have posted. I am using the auot dataset in the following example to report six decimal points with the table command. As you can see from the output, the decmial points are reported as intended. You might like to share your dataset with me at attaullah.shah@imsciences.edu.pk so that I am able to replicate the error you are referring to.

I’m running into the same issue. The output of the command correctly uses 3 decimal places when I specify dec(3), but the actual docx that is saved has 5 decimal places.
